The slope intercept form is used to express equation of a line. To be able to use slope intercept form, all that you need to be able to do is 1) find the slope of a line and 2) find the y-intercept of a line.
The slope intercept form comes in the form y = mx + b
y = 5x + 3is an example of the Slope Intercept Form and represents the equation of a line with a slope of 5 and and a y-intercept of 3.
y = −2x + 6represents the equation of a line with a slope of −2 and and a y-intercept of 6.
Task: 20 minutes Art Time. Use your artistic talents and make your own Slope Intercept Form Formula. Explain what the m and b represent. You will keep it in your folder and will make reference to it as we work with linear equations. Be creative.

Reminder:
m is the slope
b is the y -intercept
